6 units, probably one for each dev, and the rest of everyone can enjoy being not special.

I got a feeling if they keep shipping in those boxes some of them will get stolen.

+1 Shh don't tell them this. They may actually figure this out.

LOL

Making it obvious what they are shipping, is utterly stupid.

and unprofessional... it's all a farce, 8 units for 2 days of assembly... we still didn't see inside of the product, thermal imagining, chips inside their plastic cases mounted, proofs needed for the smart money to step in...

Sorry, I think the demand to see thermal imaging is a little much.  More finished product videos coming from known pre-orders would be best.

Sending money to a company 5 months in advance with no due diligence (research into the feasibility of BFL being able to deliver devices like 1.5TH/s in the size of the mini rig case) is something a retarded person would do.

Most people that bought BFL preorders in June 2012 threw money at BFL without question the same day the announcement went out about their supposed products and specs.

So no, this wasn't tough to see that this "investment" was fucking stupid.

 Cheesy
If you pay attention to the BFL order numbers and dates people have quoted in these forums, you would have seen that most people actually ordered between Feb and April, not the time period you claim.




If you actually paid any attention you would know I wasn't referencing those suckers. Fail harder please.   Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy LOL!

lol so BFL finally is delivering bait and switch products now 7 months late.

Go for it and pat yourselves on the back BFL. LOL Big Fucking Liars.

anyone who paid with BTC in June 2012 for the MiniRig could have had $560,000 instead today had they just held BTC.

BFL has reamed their customers despite shipping "A" product that missed power specs by multiple factors and late by 6+ months.

so fail...but bask in your glory of goating BFL supporters lol. You know who you are. ROFL!


"YES WE FINALLY GET OUR PREORDERS, WHO CARES THAT WHAT I SENT BFL COULD HAVE NETTED ME MORE THAN HALF A MILLION DOLLARS, I GET LOST OPPORTUNITY COST + BFL SHINY BRANDING TO MAKE IT UP"

God you like to rub salt in wound .. most of us invested money in a product that is very late ---
when you make a decision some time it's good and some times it bad .  a bit like mining

1, 2, 3 ... 400! Yep, I count 400 per day as Josh said  Wink

Hope they change the packing to something more "neutral" - otherwise those money machines will "get lost" in post offices like crazy.

No risk, no reward.

Smoothie, why are you being so cruel to BFL customers? Was everyone screaming bloody murder that BFL was going to be 7 months late on their delivery when they were accepting BTC preorders? Everyone putting any money into any mining venture is taking a risk. Sometimes those risks don't reap rewards.

disclaimer: i haven't put any BTC into any of my mining-related activities, except maybe some stuff from cablesaurus.

A friend of mine bought a one bedroom apartment as an investment "off the plan" ie. when it was still a vacant block. He forked out hundreds of thousands of dollars sight unseen, the builders used the money to build the apparent block as expected,projected timelines were missed, it took years, but eventually it was completed, so he was happy. He could have argued that he missed out on rent for all that period it was being built. This is a pretty normal situation when you pre-order something that hasn't been built yet.

I bought a house, off the plan, when it was still a vacant block of land.  It was built and completed 2 months ahead of schedule.

Your friend who bought an apartment off the plan reminds me of my friend who signed up years ago to build a block of apartments through a spruiking/high pressure sales company.  They were offering to pay my friend 20% interest on money they borrowed from him and to give him a discount on an apartment.  I asked 'why doesn't the builder just go to a bank and get money much cheaper?'  *crickets*  My friend has remained very silent about the deal ever since.  I suspect the whole project fell over and my friend lost all his money. 

That's the risk one takes when preordering a product that doesn't exist yet.  Heck, if BFL fell over before my order was shipped there is nothing I can do about it.  PayPal doesn't care, BFL is in a different country and just filing papers in US courts would cost more than my order ever did.

Typically what happens in the case of an apparentness block, the developers don't get sales as fast as they predicted, to be assured of the funds to start the project, so they wait for more sales until they have enough to feel comfortable to proceed. This is common across all sorts of industries, not just dwellings. If you have a contract that includes performance clauses then you might have some recourse for compensation, however I don't see anything like that for pre-ordering bits of electronics.

They shipped 6 units of an bait-and-switch inferior product, 6 months late, that is at least 10 times weaker than other products that have already made it to market.

The only people who will even potentially make their money back will be the first people to receive these devices.
